I saw the ball drop, and it was good

sauergeekAbout an hour ago, I got back from Times Square (OK, 55th St and 7th Ave) after standing in a huge crowd with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jiapa and watching the ball drop.
We ended up chatting with two other people we randomly met while out there -- turns out I was the only non-doctor of the group, very weird. (He was a pathologist, she was a cytologist, andjiapa does internal medicine.)
The ball was a distinctly round thing way off in the distance. Given this new one was 12' in diameter vs the old ones which were only 6', I can only wonder how people at my distance (13 blocks!) could see it in the past.
I'm glad I did it. I think I will be satisfied from now on with sitting at home and watching it on TV.
Happy new year!
